1. What is your experience prior to joining the Longevity Graphics team?
I graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2002 and have traveled the world professionally since. I’ve worked on multiple projects that included Data Management and Marketing, most recently on the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games project. My time spent working abroad on large and small projects alike has given me the ability to adapt to change quickly and work with professionals of all disciplines effectively.
2. What are your hobbies and interests?
I love sports and can often be found either watching or playing everything from basketball to baseball, golf, ringette, etc. I also love the outdoors and have become an avid hiker since moving back to British Columbia. My mission is to hike over 52 different trails in 52 weeks. So far I’m on hike #29 – more than halfway completed!
3. What do you bring to the Longevity Graphics team?
I bring a great eye for detail, a positive outlook, and a can-do attitude. I believe where there is a will, there is always a way. My vast experience working in different environments combined with my driven personality will undoubtedly help my transition on to the Longevity Graphics team go smoothly and successfully.
